Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesC FutureC+
The jury is out on the Ravens. For now, C.

The Ravens looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Dayon Hayes at No. 59 regardless, 258 picks early. The final tally is a middling C.

The Mbow value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. It is not that Borregales is a bad player; it is that the Ravens had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

If Josh Conerly Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
They took Josh Conerly Jr. at par in the 27th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dayon Hayes
Value said wait; Dayon Hayes in the 59th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
They talked themselves into Jackson Slater at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 LeQuint Allen
A wild overpay on LeQuint Allen in No. 93, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick No. 129 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 34 on Andres Borregales, a specialist they were not short of.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kai Kroeger
They reached a country mile for Kai Kroeger at the 183rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They reached into another round for Roc Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Marcus Mbow
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Marcus Mbow in pick No. 210, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joe Huber
Joe Huber at the 212th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Kaimon Rucker
Somehow Kaimon Rucker was still sitting there in pick 243, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It fills a real need, too.
